It takes an awfully dubious nomination to rile up a bunch as obedient as the Senate GOP to the point where they’re not only willing to bork a Trump pick but to bork him before he’s even been formally nominated.
I did not think they had it in ’em.
Cain’s loss is *probably* Stephen Moore’s gain, though. It’s almost unimaginable that Republicans would embarrass Trump twice by rejecting both of his Fed nominees.
North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer said he wouldn’t back Cain if President Donald Trump nominates him to the Fed and hopes the president will make another choice.
“If I had to vote today, I couldn’t vote for Herman Cain,” said Cramer, a Trump ally. “The allegations that drove him from the presidential race are just so obviously serious. I’m not talking about his position on interest rates or anything like that, but the sexual harassment stuff. Until it’s better explained I couldn’t vote for him.”…
Cramer joins GOP senators Mitt Romney of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Cory Gardner of Colorado in expressing opposition to a Cain nomination, which would leave him with just 49 potential Republican votes. Senate GOP leaders, including Republican Whip John Thune, have already said they don’t anticipate Cain could get a single Democratic to support his confirmation.

The Dems are planning to tank the economy. They need their generals in place.
Romney, the RINO with a messiah complex. A republican that can get elected as Governor of Massachusetts is not a true Conservative.

Maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever read on FR. Democratpundit is as bad as any CNN fake news propagandist. Maybe he is one?
True but he’s not the right color for Mittens
You are truly ignorant of facts, but that's probably because as a kanuck, you have an ice cream brain cramp all year round.
Herman Cain had been a member of the fed bank in KC for years, but you didn't know that.
You are about the same as auntie maxine axing the bankers about student loans a coupla days ago. Get some facts before you lip-shoot.
I hope to hell that you are still in Alberta and cannot vote in the US because while you are on FR, you are dangerous.
Ignorance is your own choice, and you wear it proudly.
Cain’s real crime is being a strong, independent and media savvy public supporter of POTUS. Think of how he was treated the next time you about GOP senate confirmed “Trump judges.” The Senate GOP want POTUS to have as few allies as possible on his flanks. It’s that simple.
Will never forget that Ann Coulter worshipped the guy....
I realize I’m in the minority here, but in my opinion, using the logic of “pick your battles”, this is not a battle I would encourage Trump to pick.
Just my opinion.
Just more proof there is still a lot of turds in the DC cesspool.
I’m getting pretty sick of always seeing Murkowski named.
What does ChiFiDi have on her, anyway?
What actually happened to Joe Miller, for one.

Just my opinion.
The point is shouldn’t even bet a battle. POTUS is entitled to have his picks for the Fed baring a major red flag. Yet again POTUS and those who voted for his MAGA agenda are betrayed by the beltway GOP.
The idiot hypocrite from N. Dakota voted for Kavanaugh, didn’t he?
This is not about sexual harassment bullschiff, this is about following the orders of his Fed masters.
You think the left had a field day with Kavanaugh?
Right or wrong, I agree. Herman Cain has some splainin to do.

My advice to Trump is “pass”. You don’t need this.
I awlays knew Cain’s accusations of sexual dalliances would come back to haunt him after he said he had an investigative team ready to prove them to be lies and then just disappeared.
Maybe the political value of this pick makes it worthwhile. Force the Democrats and some GOP dopes to explain why they don’t want a black man on the Fed board.
